0:00
So I've done it. I've booked my entire trip.
0:04
Oh. Excellent.
0:05
So. Of the brothels of Thailand to
0:09
Luke Alderson's story. Welcome to Multiple Nerdgasm
0:15
with your hosts Matt, Luke and Dan Multiple Nerdgasm, your
0:22
guide to all things nerdy. So in 2 1/2 weeks time on the
0:34
31st of July I go to hospital, spend a week in hospital.
0:39
Get it out of the way before you get to Thailand.
0:41
Yeah, yeah. Pump, yeah.
0:45
Pump full of of anti chlamydia anti VD.
0:51
I didn't go from the airport, no, from the from the hospital
0:55
to the airport on the 6th. Go straight out in a way out
0:59
there. Yep, why not?
1:02
And they've, they've bumped me up to business class, but they
1:04
were very apologetic about it. They bumped me up like.
1:11
I'm gonna have to have some leg room, yeah.
1:13
We know you're really, really hanging to sit back there with
1:16
the rest of the people like a. Month beforehand they've done
1:18
it, which is I find weird. It's not like a last minute.
1:22
Yes, once or twice I've been bumped at the gate, which is
1:24
very. Very.
1:25
You've never been bumped up to business class?
1:27
The fuck? Why?
1:28
Just how do you do this time? I haven't.
1:31
It's if there's seats left in business class and a stewardess
1:34
thinks you look like you might want one.
1:37
I mean, I definitely want one. Do I?
1:39
Do I not? If you look at, do I not look?
1:41
Do I look like someone who doesn't want to go to the
1:43
business class? Maybe you also have to look like
1:46
someone who other business class passengers would want to be part
1:50
of their. What what does that mean, Dan?
1:52
Yeah. Excuse me, I actually still
1:54
dressed nicely for flights. I wear a button shirt pants.
1:58
Yeah, but your button shirts are a little different to the other
2:02
business class. They're imagining something
2:04
that's very inaccurate right now.
2:06
Yeah, if you're if you're thinking of Patrick Bateman, you
2:09
are wrong. You're wrong to think about
2:12
Patrick Bateman in any context other than business cards.
2:15
Yeah, they're going to get a shock when I rock up in business
2:17
class. But then yeah.
2:19
And then I just. Bum around.
2:21
I'd like to do a Patrick, but you know, you know, the morning
2:23
routine scene. Yes.
2:25
In famous, I'd like to recreate that shot for shot.
2:29
But at Luke's house with Luke. Yeah.
2:33
Having a raw sausage for breakfast.
2:34
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
2:35
There's nothing wrong with the occasional raw sausage.
2:38
I can eat 6 now. But then, yeah, and then I'm
2:44
just going to bum around Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand,
2:48
literally for a couple of months.
2:51
Very cool. Are you are you going to go to
2:53
Japan or no? No, no.
2:55
I just decided I'm just going to stay there.
2:57
I've basically booked it all. I do a lot of tours and then
2:59
I've just got one week in a resort to end on where I just do
3:04
nothing. Yes.
3:05
Wink wink. Yes.
3:07
You lay in a pool noodle and when you want to drink, you just
3:10
get slightly closer to the side of the pool.
3:12
That's a bar and. I made yeah, but I've gone with.
3:16
It's in Vietnam in results down there and I've made very clear
3:21
it's it does have bar pool, pool bars, pools.
3:25
Pools. Pools at the bars pool.
3:28
Yeah. And that is the plan, just to
3:31
hang around there, do that for a week.
3:33
Oh, for $20.00 I can go up to the roof of the hotel and watch
3:38
the sunset and they'll give me 6 beers.
3:42
That's a bargain. Oh, do I?
3:46
Do I have to watch the sunset? Yeah.
3:47
Hold on and and don't drink. Them in the room.
3:50
Do are you gonna? Drink them in my room.
3:52
It's. $20.00 for six. Beers.
3:55
Well, the thing. Is still a very, very good deal.
3:57
Oh. No, that's expensive for beer
3:59
over there in Vietnam. Oh, OK.
4:00
Yeah, like, yeah. I now.
4:04
OK, now I'm getting why Luke likes it there.
4:06
Yeah, it's great. They make a lot of lager and
4:09
it's cheap. They do, all the beer they make
4:11
practically is lager and they make it old school.
4:16
They don't charge very much for it.
4:17
I like it too. I had AI was in Bali last week.
4:20
Bali of all fucking places. But I was drinking.
4:24
With all the other bogans. Mate, mate, they're so fucking
4:30
Bogany it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
4:35
That's funny they get there and just assume laws don't apply to
4:38
them. Yeah, yeah.
4:42
And I still love the people who will go overseas and go never
4:44
ridden a bike in their life. But now's the time.
4:46
I'm going to hire a motorbike or a scooter and bang.
4:49
Around I looked into some of that stuff because we had talked
4:53
about the three of us doing which I would like to do at some
4:55
point. I'd still love.
4:56
To do this sounds awesome. Yeah, yeah.
4:58
I don't know about how feasible it is, but I think to do I.
5:01
Think it'd be about 10 years. In 10 years.
5:04
You wear that right off Matt's shirt.
5:06
Yes. Oh, we'll, we'll be going for 10
5:10
years, yes. Yeah, 10 years.
5:13
In well, once we get arrested, didn't.
5:17
Yes, yeah. Yeah, we don't intend to go.
5:20
We'll be in a Thai present for 10 years.
5:22
Yeah, I. Want to know what?
5:26
Because obviously that's not murder.
5:27
Murder's life anyway, even in Thailand, right?
5:29
What's 10 years in Thai in a Thai jail?
5:32
What have we done to get 10 years?
5:34
One of us, I've got a little bit of pot.
5:38
Yeah. All right.
5:39
Yeah, no, don't they just hang? It there?
5:42
What? Well, yeah, actually that could
5:44
be longer depending on. Crime 10.
5:49
Years jail. What is he asking?
5:55
I'm asking my Thai friend. Chaji BT, Chaji B Thai.
6:02
In Thailand, the sentence of 10 years imprisonment can be given
6:04
for various crimes, but one notable is Laissez majeste.
6:11
That sounds cool. Insulting the monarchy.
6:17
Oh. There you go.
6:20
Can we just close it with our monarchy?
6:22
Well, no, because they're very You've been to Thailand like
6:25
you. You would have seen it.
6:26
It's just pictures of the king everywhere.
6:28
Like, well, that's actually why. On the airport.
6:31
Yeah, and you get there and there's a legal.
6:34
To drop money on the ground because money has pictures of
6:38
the king on it. I'm actually not spending that
6:41
much time in Thailand, mainly because they're.
6:44
Scared. What you think?
6:45
Well, no, they're, they're a little bit more on a high alert
6:47
type of thing. No, they're, they're a bit more
6:51
because they'll go to smart traveler just to check like what
6:54
is in the region and Thailand is up.
6:56
You should be on a bit more of a high alert there.
6:59
Sure. So yeah, right.
7:01
That's why I'm just. I've had friends have some
7:04
pretty dodgy experiences in Thailand.
7:06
Several friends, actually. No, no, I'm sure Thailand's
7:09
fine, but I mean, you've just been there in the different.
7:11
Yeah, it's like a different yeah.
7:13
RIP. Off culture I the first time
7:15
I've been maybe a dozen times, but the first time I went I was
7:18
petrified in Bangkok because like I got what I would consider
7:23
if it happened in Australia. Kidnapped by a tuk.
7:26
Tui would not. Tear me somewhere I wanted to
7:28
go. He would just take me to his
7:30
cousin's store and I. Didn't know what?
7:34
That's what they all do. And then for a while I thought,
7:37
fuck I, I love Thailand, I just hate Bangkok because I travelled
7:40
around the rural places and it was wonderful.
7:43
But I've since had really awesome trips to Bangkok as
7:45
well. You've just got to be savvy and
7:47
they can tell when you're not. Yeah, right.
7:49
Yeah. Like I've been there once, got
7:51
ripped off the first time and then you learn.
7:56
I think everyone gets ripped off or something happens their first
7:58
time because. If when you get into a tuk tuk
8:01
or a cab or anything in in Bangkok and, and immediately say
8:04
to the guy how much from here to X place, they will know you've
8:09
been there before and they will not RIP you off and they will
8:12
tell you how much it costs. If you just get in and go take
8:14
me to this place and then tell me what it costs, they know
8:17
you've never been there before. So.
8:19
Fashion you more. They'll be taking you via their
8:21
tailor friend. They'll be taking you past a
8:23
jeweler friend. Yeah, you look Temple.
8:27
And if they say yeah, yeah, I'm a girl make.
8:29
Sure. Just check.
8:30
Yeah, yeah. Why?
8:32
Suck it around. Yeah.
8:40
So I'm only going to spend 10 days there, but I'm going to
8:42
spend a bit of time in Laos, in Cambodia.
8:45
Laos so and they have a lovely local beer as well.
8:48
I was. Going to say just, I'm, I'm, I'm
8:50
obviously quite ignorant of the area, but when you say, oh,
8:52
Thailand, it might be a bit dangerous, I'll go to Laos.
8:55
That seems a bit weird to. Me also.
8:56
It just it borders. It borders it's borders in.
8:59
Cambodia. Yeah, for some reason, just my
9:02
just my vague when you say last time I that's that's fucking
9:05
dangerous place. With civil wars and stuff,
9:09
there's there's also less chance that people are going to speak
9:14
good English in Laos as opposed to in Thailand.
9:17
That's why I'm going on a tour. Tour guide handle all of that
9:22
and I'm asking for the. Consent.
9:24
If you don't understand, I'll assume that's consent.
9:27
No, in Laos, children can't consent, Sir.
9:38
But yeah, I don't know what they do in Australia.
9:41
Actually, I'm really looking forward.
9:43
I'm really looking forward to Cambodia.
9:46
Yeah. Checking that and also firing
9:48
guns again. I like shooting guns.
9:50
Yeah, yeah, all these sacred places entirely.
9:53
Going to say my mind. I don't know, just in my head
9:57
I'm going to be fired. I always say when.
9:58
Did I fire guns? I fired.
10:00
I fired guns just on an Indonesian island, a different
10:04
one, not the other one I went to the other day.
10:06
Top secret island? There's a lot of them, but I
10:10
just can't remember which one. Firing guns in Ho Chi Minh, just
10:14
in the where they put. The town in.
10:17
The town just. Yeah, just remember that the
10:22
last time Australians were firing guns.
10:24
I was going. To say it was 1975, but it was
10:27
just before we escaped my helicopter.
10:30
It was during the American wall. Yes, that's right.
10:34
You go to the American war over. Go to the.
10:36
American War Museum. It's amazing.
10:38
I've done it once and I want to do it again because it's just.
10:42
Yeah, like crazy. Well, it's even.
10:43
It's not even that. Good.
10:45
Like seeing because they've had a terrible time there in
10:47
Vietnam. Like it was the French first.
10:50
Like there's just. Everything you've learned in
10:52
reverse. Like that Vita was just being
10:56
invaded and invaded and invaded over and over.
10:59
And Luke's at it again. Like I found out they had a
11:03
Statue of Liberty and the second they freed them and they were
11:07
like we. Should get rid of that that.
11:09
Is they tore that they tore that down.
11:12
I didn't actually know there were three official statue of
11:15
liberties Yeah, right. I knew that there was one.
11:18
There's. One in Paris.
11:21
Oh, I think the American one was made in Paris and then shipped
11:25
to America, and that's why. I think there is one in Paris
11:27
and. There's one in Tokyo as well,
11:29
because I saw one in Tokyo and I thought, oh, that's just,
11:32
they've made one. Yeah, just like casinos and
11:36
stuff like, yeah, yeah, no, that's an actual one.
11:39
Yeah, there's one in there is one in Paris there is.
11:41
Yeah. America gave it to them.
11:43
Oh, OK. Next to it's next to the same.
11:46
Yeah, because I know that I actually did ship one from
11:50
French to America, and that's the one you've got.
11:52
You've got but you. Have both to everyday but I also
11:56
know yeah you bow down to it don't you?
11:58
I did it right before we jumped on, yeah.
12:00
Yeah. She nods, face E back to you,
12:02
and then yeah, yeah. 10 times a day, I know that.
12:08
It's not E it's Mecca, but it's not New Jersey You face.
12:12
New Jersey, you face. Jersey yeah, I mean E changes no
12:15
matter where you are if if people, people.
12:19
It's totally southwest from here, but yeah.
12:20
Yeah, OK. The stamp, the famous Statue of
12:24
Liberty stamp. The picture is not of the Statue
12:28
of Liberty in America, it's of one of the others.
12:31
Yeah. All right.
12:32
OK. Pumped I.
12:37
Don't know, if it was for various reasons, I'll never
12:41
know. I'm such a scallywag.
12:46
Guys are from the French. Stupid Americans and.
12:55
Don't even know their old lady. Where's?
12:59
This guy from. Why is he so in?
13:09
How does this stand for you? OK, who is this?
13:17
Now, last week I did promise I was going to see Jurassic Park,
13:23
and I went and saw it. Oh.
13:26
Oh my God, this is some of the worst special effects I have
13:31
seen in such a long time. Really.
13:34
Like really bad. What's going on lately?
13:37
I don't know, they seem to have gone backwards and special, but
13:40
this was worse than like anything recently.
13:43
As a movie, was it as soulless as the first Jurassic World that
13:48
I couldn't even make it to the end of?
13:49
Oh, even worse. Yeah, it didn't look great from
13:52
the trailer. The whole thing is about how
13:55
like, the world has lost interest in these dinosaurs, but
13:58
they're going to this island where they were creating hybrids
14:01
and freaks and all this stuff, which makes still makes no sense
14:04
to me. Yeah, the whole concept of
14:06
people just getting bored of dinosaurs doesn't make any
14:08
sense, people. Yeah, well, we get bored of the
14:10
zoo. Yeah, you don't get bored of a
14:11
chimp. Yeah, but they got bored of they
14:14
got bored of Jurassic World. Like I don't.
14:16
Get bored of my dog, just see him every day and I'm still like
14:22
hey. But yeah, no, I just, I think
14:25
one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.
14:28
But the special effects were just the worst part.
14:30
Yeah, but I still think it could have been a different movie.
14:34
I think it's just they got another script and mashed it
14:36
with Jurassic Park. Right.
14:37
Yeah, yeah. Because it seemed like the vibe
14:39
of it from the trailer was very like Alien almost.
14:42
Yeah, I could have seen it being a Predator movie, honestly.
14:45
Yeah. Right.
14:46
Maybe that would have been better.
14:47
They're making pretty good Predator movies again.
14:49
Yeah, apparently so, yeah. So yeah, I, I did read an
14:52
article a little while ago about the visual effects stuff and
14:55
about how I think this is in the context of the Disney stuff.
14:58
At the time, people were like, why does the quantum mania look
15:02
shit? And it was because they just
15:05
spread too thin now because there's too many big budget
15:09
highs, you know, CGI blockbusters and people are not,
15:12
there's not enough people to work on them.
15:14
Except perhaps for Oppenheimer, there's no longer such a thing
15:18
as a movie without CGI everything.
15:20
Like, even if you look at my movie, the tail Job, like so
15:24
many scenes were digitally altered.
15:26
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's not a, that's not a
15:30
genre movie. And it's not, you know, a box
15:32
office, you know, blockbuster. It's.
15:35
Just. A normal drama, but just with
15:38
you. You got to do CGI.
15:40
Well I remember going back to the Facebook movie where they
15:43
had the CGI stuff onto a door and stuff like why just print a
15:47
sign? Breath.
15:49
Oh yeah, the breath. Yeah.
15:50
They're making a sequel to that, as you know.
15:52
Yes, because I guess he's in, he's in more lawsuits.
15:56
Yeah, structurally the same, but.
15:59
I think it's because it's the social network too.
16:01
I was wondering is it going to be about something else like?
16:04
Another social network, Yeah. OK.
16:07
I mean, maybe like you, because you could.
16:09
In theory, yeah. Is TikTok still a thing there?
16:12
You could also make. It they keep delaying banning
16:15
that. OK, Jesse Eisenberg could still
16:17
play. Zuckerberg.
16:19
Yeah, Zuckerberg because he's meant he's he's the the amount
16:23
older that he's. Meant to be older, yeah.
16:25
It's true, yeah. I did see two other movies this
16:29
week I like. Him, man, I have a feeling
16:31
they're movies I really want to see as well.
16:33
I saw F1. OK, let's start of it.
16:37
OK, I enjoyed it. I got a shock.
16:41
I'd still. Do you like F1 now?
16:44
No, the sport, not the. No, I'd still I don't have
16:47
enough time to watch a weekend because that's something after
16:51
the last. Day.
16:53
No, for me, because it's I understand to get the full
16:56
enjoyment, I think you need to watch like the qualifying in the
16:59
Sprint and get that. This movie does not care about
17:03
qualifying or sprints or anything like that.
17:06
It's OK, It's the right. Racing, yeah.
17:09
And and we could start last and finish in fifth, like don't
17:12
worry about that. If you yeah, some people can.
17:15
If you Max you can. Yeah, yeah.
17:17
Yeah. But like every race, like that's
17:19
where it's a bit unbelievable. Was like that.
17:21
Sure, sure, they were like always up.
17:24
But remember the Schwarzenegger movie, not Schwarzenegger
17:28
Stallone. Rocky.
17:30
He's 14 to teach the young. Driver Drive.
17:34
Oh, it's exactly the same movie. Yeah, right.
17:37
Like oh, mentor someone? Yep, they bring him out over
17:42
well. He's not out of retirement.
17:43
They bring him out. He's a driver for hire.
17:45
They will him out throw. Him in, but I could see how they
17:50
can make it work with the Daytona stuff.
17:52
We've doing good Days of the Cross, right?
17:56
OK, at the very, very, very subtled movie.
17:59
So no spoiler. He is racing at Daytona.
18:04
Oh, OK. As a driver for hire in like a
18:06
24 hour race. Right, right, right.
18:09
And so I think it would sort of makes more sense for him to be
18:14
cross to go. They thought that Tom Cruise
18:17
will be there. Yeah, Yeah.
18:20
So that's why I think it could work.
18:22
But no, it's I. Think.
18:23
Looks good, it's enjoyable. I listen to Brad Pitt was just
18:30
recently on Dan's favorite podcast to Your Expert and it
18:34
was actually quite controversial.
18:36
Apparently it is. I mean, understandably, it's
18:41
controversial to be positive towards Brad Pitt in some
18:45
circles because of things that have happened.
18:48
So they got a lot of Flack for that, apparently.
18:50
But I got to say, he's so fucking charming.
18:54
Like, I'm like, I'm not even watching the video.
18:57
I'm just listening to it. And I'm like, I want to be
18:59
friends with this guy. Like, he's just cool.
19:04
So yeah, frustratingly cool. And also, did you know that?
19:10
Oh, actually, I don't know if they revealed this on the show,
19:12
to be honest. Dax Shepard and Brad Pitt have
19:15
known each other for a while now from Alcoholics Anonymous.
19:17
Oh. Shit.
19:19
Oh, and they so they talked about that at the start and I
19:21
was like, oh, this is very. Light to be anonymous.
19:24
They said they people get mad at them when they discuss it
19:27
publicly because I. Guess you.
19:30
Yeah. And then he's like, yeah, no,
19:33
it's a they, they like there are some anecdotes and they do names
19:36
in people, but they're like, to be clear, these people don't
19:38
care. We've had I've had that person
19:41
on this show also, and we've talked about it.
19:43
So I'm not gonna out anybody. Yeah, yeah.
19:45
Actually that was really interesting that he's very open
19:49
about that stuff. And is he?
19:50
Is he still sober? Yeah.
19:52
Brad. Pitt yeah, right, yeah, so and
19:54
quit nicotine products. He was a, he was a smoker for
19:57
like 30 years or something and he was on a lot of.
20:00
You know, like supplementary stuff when he quit and then,
20:05
yeah, like he said, Oh, no, I don't do anything anymore.
20:07
I'm off that too. Yeah, yeah.
20:10
So, yeah. Interesting.
20:11
Smoke again. Let's go hang out with Brad,
20:15
too. Expensive.
20:16
Too expensive, that's why. You'd be Brad.
20:18
I did also see. Yeah, I.
20:20
Did also see one unsmoked cigarettes lying around.
20:23
Yeah, I saw what other movie I know you both want to see.
20:25
I went and saw Superman. I, I enjoyed it.
20:32
I think the music does let it down.
20:34
I don't think it has that impact of John Williams.
20:38
He does a version of the John Williams stuff.
20:40
I know because it was in the trailer, but John Murphy's just
20:43
got a very different style, so. I was listening like during the
20:48
week at work, there was we got a television in the cafeteria and
20:50
they were playing Superman during the midday movie or
20:53
whatever, and still hearing that music.
20:55
It's still, yeah, it still has that impact.
21:00
Yeah. That's what was missing from
21:02
this. But the thing that I'm very
21:03
confused about is everyone saying this is very woke and all
21:08
about immigrants and stuff and I'm.
21:09
Well, no. So I mean, yes, well, he is an
21:13
immigrant, but it's because James Gunn said it in an in an
21:16
interview. So the the reviews are very
21:19
positive. There's a lot of first reaction
21:22
reviews been very positive. Yours sounds fairly positive.
21:24
Yeah. But one person who was annoyed
21:27
is Dean Cain, who also played Superman on television.
21:33
And he is. He's bothered apparently, by the
21:37
fact that James Gunn, in an interview just a couple days
21:39
ago, said it's Superman is the story of America, an immigrant
21:44
that came from other places and populated the country.
21:48
But for me, it's mostly a story that says basic human kindness
21:51
is a value and is something we have lost, Right?
21:54
That sounds fine to me. I think he doesn't like that.
21:57
Pretty non controversial but just clear.
22:00
Did Dean Kane watch the movie when he said that or is that
22:03
just in? I have a feeling and out of let
22:06
me. Next quote.
22:07
Let me read you what Dean Kane said and you tell me when this
22:09
gets a bit weird. How work is Hollywood gonna make
22:13
this character? I'm gonna skip this first
22:15
paragraph because it But for Superman, it was truth, Justice,
22:18
and the American way. Well, they dropped that.
22:21
They came up with Truth, Justice, and A Better tomorrow,
22:24
changing beloved characters to. Drop that, but OK.
22:27
Changing beloved characters I don't think is a great idea.
22:29
If you want to create a new character, go ahead and do that.
22:32
I wouldn't say changing the fucking.
22:34
Yeah, creating a new character. It's, it's the same character.
22:37
It's just, it's what people say about him.
22:39
No, they don't mention the country.
22:41
Yeah, yeah. Superman's always stood for
22:44
truth, justice in the American way.
22:45
And the American way is immigrant friendly, tremendously
22:48
immigrant friendly. But there are rules.
22:52
You can't come in. This is this is still dinking.
22:55
It's a dinking, yeah. You can't come in saying I want
22:59
to get rid of all the rules in America because I want it to be
23:01
more like Somalia. Well, that doesn't work.
23:06
That doesn't work because you had to leave Somalia to come
23:08
here. I have a lot of on that one.
23:12
Somali person hurt you, Dean Cain.
23:14
I happy sneak a lot of these. Anyone will do?
23:18
A lot of the reviews I've seen where they're calling out being
23:21
woke, I guarantee you they have not seen the movie.
23:24
They're going off what they've heard.
23:27
Because I felt is this bit of a rant about how we got this.
23:31
We can't have everybody, society will fail, so there have to be
23:35
limits. And then he says, anyway, I hope
23:39
Superman's successful, but I don't like that political stuff.
23:43
Oh, don't you? Sorry, don't you?
23:51
Fucking hell. Amazing.
23:53
No, I'll say, I'll say this. I'll still watch him.
23:56
I thought he was a pretty decent Superman and a very charming
23:59
Clark Kent. I learned this week originally
24:02
that when that the pilot was written, the show was called
24:05
Lois Lane or The Adventures of Lois Lane or something like
24:08
that. And the studio were like, no,
24:10
it's like you've got to mention Clark and you've got to also
24:14
mention Superman. So work it out.
24:18
But we're not just calling it Lois Lane.
24:21
Yeah, I don't think that would have had quite the same impact.
24:24
I think now you people would go for that. 100% yeah.
24:27
Now you'd be like, you're calling it Lois Lane and she's
24:33
an immigrant. Okay.
24:36
They're all immigrants. She's trans.
24:38
Yep. But yeah, I think they say.
24:41
Goes without saying. The word immigrant is said like
24:45
maybe twice in the entire thing, but it's not a it's talking
24:48
about Superman. He is.
24:50
That's what I'm saying. I don't understand why he's not
24:52
making him political. He's always, he's a fucking
24:56
alien. Politically charged.
24:57
Yeah. Yeah.
24:58
And he's here illegally. Yes, he.
25:01
Crashed in his spaceship. He didn't get a visa.
25:03
Dean Cain. Yeah.
25:06
To find out who else doesn't have a visa, go to the after
25:09
party. After.
25:10
This and. I've got some oh oh oh.
25:12
I've got some visa refusal news to report on.
25:15
Oh, oh, I just saw what it is. I'm very excited by this.
25:20
But I don't want to derail this back-to-back to Superman.
25:23
When they say immigrant, is it him saying, I mean, I'm just a
25:26
lowly immigrant? Or is it someone saying get back
25:29
to where he came from? Like what's the context?
25:31
Yeah. Isa dragging Superman into a
25:33
van. It's like.
25:37
Yeah, it does get a lot a little bit like that.
25:40
But I will say like they turn on Superman because of oh, Luther
25:47
sure, because his whole hatred for Superman trying to get rid
25:50
of like that plays a bait pass in this.
25:52
Yeah, but his point is he's not even human, right?
25:56
Yeah. It's not that he doesn't have a
25:57
proper working JV. Right.
26:00
Yeah. Basically worried about meta
26:02
humans taking over and ruling the world.
26:04
Yeah, sure. I mean, that's another argument
26:06
entirely. If Dean Cain was like, look, you
26:09
guys are downplaying the human thing, but you really, we've got
26:12
to take it seriously. I'd.
26:13
Have more respect for him than just.
26:15
Have you seen the powers these Mexicans?
26:17
Have. Superheroes.
26:23
I'm Superman now. But definitely go see it.
26:36
I will say that the post credit post credit scenes are crap.
26:42
Yeah. That that I really thought it'd
26:45
be setting something up. I think they purposely didn't
26:49
because we were expecting that. Yeah.
26:52
I don't know why they I don't know why letting us down is
26:54
their plan A but. Yeah, Jason, I know why.
26:59
Though I know why they didn't set something up.
27:01
They don't know what. They're doing this is a pass or
27:03
fail. Yeah, yeah, right.
27:05
If this goes tits up, there's nothing else.
27:08
And whatever's good at whatever people do like about this will
27:11
be the next movie. Yeah, but yes, well, I think
27:14
Jake has come out and said that like all the other movies are
27:17
going to be all different in tone.
27:20
Right. So there's going to be sort of
27:23
more serious ones, more funnier ones, like just depending on the
27:26
characters he's playing with at the time.
27:29
Green Yeah. It'll just be pure horror.
27:32
Nathan Fillion. Yeah.
27:34
Yeah, yeah. How is Nathan Fillion?
27:35
How is he, you know? Is he good?
27:37
I, I, I enjoyed Nathan Fillion with with every dot.
27:39
So yes, he was good. OK, Yeah.
27:42
I mean, he looks pretty over. The top it looks.
27:44
Weird. Does it fit in the movie?
27:46
Yes, yeah, he's very arrogant. He's very much I should be the
27:51
hero type of person. Right.
27:53
Yeah, right. All right.
27:55
With the Justice Gang, the. Justice Gang.
27:59
Justice Gang. Is Martian Manhunter part of the
28:01
Justice game? No, so I mean Mrs. Terrific.
28:06
It was my favorite but I hardly ever use him.
28:08
Oh OK. I don't mind Hawk girl.
28:10
Who plays hawk girl? Someone good?
28:12
Someone from another James Gunn movie guarantee it.
28:14
Yeah, be one of his friends. I don't know.
28:17
I didn't go see who she who she was because she wears a mask for
28:20
most of it. So.
28:20
I mean, there's a disc by the way, if I was, if I was a you,
28:24
you'd all be in my stuff all the time and.
28:26
Yeah, and I, I trust him as well.
28:30
Like, in the same way that I'm I'm fine with JJ Abrams putting
28:32
his friends in his movies. Yeah, yeah, because it'll be a
28:36
good movie anyway. He's put, he's put Nathan Philly
28:38
in stuff since he's very first director credit.
28:40
Yeah. Slew that Why does Hawk Girl in
28:43
Superman looks so familiar? Isabella Merced, Merced, Merced.
28:55
That hot girl. No Isabella, my said got auto
28:59
completed. Who is?
29:05
Oh, she was Dora. Dora.
29:08
What she was Dora in the live action Dora.
29:11
Oh, that's weird. Nice.
29:15
Oh, and also, Oh no. Andy and Robbie, well, not
29:17
weird, I just mean weird because like, yeah, OK, I'm.
29:20
I've I remember that movie and that was a child.
29:23
And this is not a child, no. Only Robbie was mad.
29:25
People grow. Again with you Let it go.
29:35
She's also in one of the Sicario sequels and.
29:38
I don't. Oh, really?
29:38
I've. Seen this one because I thought
29:41
the sequel was called something else.
29:47
Oh no. Maybe not.
29:54
But look, she was fine in it. Yeah, I'm going.
29:56
To see it OK, it was this OK it was only.
29:59
One, it's just the first Superman movie I've liked in a
30:01
while. Yeah, right.
30:03
OK, yeah, I stand by the 1st I. Mean the buzz.
30:08
Two half to 2/3 Batman V Superman.
30:12
That movie could have ended like 30 times.
30:15
Yeah, just kept going start. Is is really quite good?
30:19
Brooding Batman? Angry Superman.
30:23
Such a shame because I still say Bat Flick could have been
30:25
awesome. Yeah, yeah.
30:27
But he he, he wasn't. And the one of the best Alfreds
30:32
as well, fucking Jeremy Lyons. Yeah.
30:35
This is also one of the there's another sort of people who are
30:38
upset with the Superman, James Gunn Superman.
30:40
It's the Zack Snyder fans as well.
30:42
Sure, of course they are right. OK.
30:44
They're thinking exactly what's all this coloured Hurts my eyes,
30:47
yeah. Superheroes are our gods.
30:55
Why isn't everyone scared of him?
30:57
There's been going down before him.
30:59
I got into a superhero this week.
31:00
It's an older superhero. Older like that even than
31:05
Batman, I think. Yeah.
31:07
I know what you had a look at, yes.
31:09
So I, yeah, I put, I put a little, little teaser in under,
31:14
it's actually under books because I'm actually reading
31:17
about this superhero. And then from there, got I, it
31:21
came up because I, you know, I don't even remember, but I found
31:27
a website where you can read all of the old the Shadow pulp
31:33
novels. You can.
31:34
They're just available because they're so old.
31:36
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
31:37
And so I'm reading the first one.
31:39
It's fucking great. Awesome, yeah.
31:42
So from there, so the shadow is like he he's a a superhero
31:47
basically. He like predates Batman, as far
31:48
as I'm aware. He's kind of like and he
31:50
basically in he's different in every incarnation.
31:53
Started in the 30s as a radio show because I think Detective
31:57
Comics I think did like a radio show spin off.
32:01
And they wanted a character who I think began, he began as the
32:04
narrator, but then they started to make stories about him.
32:07
And I just want to play a couple of clips of that because first
32:12
of all, he's fucking excellent. But I want to know, can you tell
32:17
either of you, Dan, in particular, do you recognize
32:20
this voice? Who knows what evil lurks in the
32:30
hearts of men? The shadow knows.
32:40
Do you know who that is? I think I do, Luke.
32:43
Do you know who it is? No, I.
32:45
Guess I've got another. Voice do you want to try I got
32:47
another one for you I got another one for you this one
32:50
this clip is just this is what the show is like and This is why
32:52
I think it's great I think this. Oh, the shadow who's?
32:56
That I am the shadow stop we haven't much time I.
33:02
Know the voice. I can't hurry, Gordon.
33:05
You're in the death House, charged with murder.
33:08
Yes, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, but nobody knows.
33:12
It say courage Gordon. The shadow knows.
33:24
I know who my shadow is. It's someone who really likes
33:27
French champagne. Yeah, yeah.
33:31
Does that give you a clue? And farm crisp farm fresh peas
33:35
with crisp crunch pudding. Does that help?
33:43
Oh, I yes, I know who it. Is you've lost the name,
33:46
haven't. You.
33:46
I've lost the name. I know who it is.
33:48
I know exactly who it is, though.
33:49
It's. It's Mr. Mawson Wells, yes.
33:51
Yes, yeah, there's Shark. So Orson Welles.
33:55
In here, I thought you're talking about Alec Baldwin.
33:58
So. I fucking love that movie.
34:00
I am talking about Alec Baldwin as well.
34:01
Because yes, what happened is I got into this stuff and then I
34:04
was like, Oh yeah, there's a movie.
34:07
So I watched the movie because I was like, I remember that being
34:11
universally panned. There's a good reason for that.
34:14
It's very bad. It's a very bad movie.
34:16
Yeah, it's got. But it's a shame because it it
34:20
is very bad still. But I think and I, I did build
34:24
cursory research. I think if you're familiar with
34:26
the other stuff like I've begun gotten familiar with it's, it
34:30
actually is better because it does very specific things that
34:35
if you don't know what it why it's that it's like that you it
34:39
doesn't make any sense. Like for example, so the shadow
34:44
in in in the the book I'm reading, he's fighting like
34:47
normal criminals. But in the movie, for some
34:49
reason I don't like, I would never I wouldn't do this.
34:53
It's it's Shiwan Khan, the last descendant of Genghis Khan,
34:57
which Genghis Khan makes no sense because yeah, there's
35:01
like. Half thousand of the descent
35:03
that's. Right.
35:03
Now there's only one person. Yeah, there's like he's very
35:08
famous for fucking half of the world and producing DNA.
35:12
Yeah, so. So that made me laugh.
35:15
But that's who. Anywhere in northern China.
35:18
You're you're a descendant of Genghis.
35:19
Khan, right? Yeah, yeah.
35:21
And you fight the Shadow on a daily basis.
35:23
But. But for some reason they they
35:26
went with that storyline and he comes to New York and it's
35:32
convoluted. We don't have to get into it.
35:34
But that that alone I was just like, that's I prefer it being a
35:38
smaller scale thing of the shadow fighting crime in in New
35:41
York. Yeah, that's what that's what
35:44
they should have done, I think. But then I.
35:46
I just got to bookmark this movie.
35:47
Well, I I got to watch this again.
35:50
Everything you say, the thing you are saying bad about it is
35:52
making me want to watch. No, no, no.
35:54
It I enjoyed it, but it's not good.
35:57
It's got OK, let me give you running through it, OK?
35:58
Alec Baldwin is in it. He's fucking great.
36:00
Tim Curry's in it, he's fucking great.
36:02
Ian McCullum is in it. He's fucking great.
36:05
Like it it just. The only thing I can remember is
36:08
he shoots a bullet out of the air.
36:11
Well, not quite, but they do shoot at each other in the
36:14
bullet skit, and they actually are both surprised by that.
36:16
That's what I'm saying. This movie's actually mostly a
36:19
comedy, which I think is lost as well because the tone is is
36:22
weird, but there's a bit where it was the 90s.
36:25
They didn't know how to make comic book movies, yet they'd.
36:29
Only make? That's exactly yeah.
36:32
Or. Make it like the crow.
36:34
Actually. Tim Burton's back, I think Dick
36:36
Tracy. They were like, Oh yeah, So
36:38
this. Yeah.
36:40
There's a scene where Shivan Khan goes into the the Sanctum,
36:44
which is he just shows up at the Sanctum, which is the shadows
36:47
like Bat Cave. And they're talking and he tells
36:50
him, I want you to join me and take over the world.
36:53
And the shadow's like, I'm not going to do that.
36:56
And then he stops. And then the Shivan goes, by the
36:58
way, I love your tie. Where did you get it from?
37:01
And he's like, oh, it's from Brooks Brothers.
37:02
Is that Midtown, 45th and Madison?
37:05
And I was like, what is happening?
37:07
And I was like, it's so strange. Nothing you were saying is
37:11
talking me out. Of because it's because that's
37:13
how the radio show was with all the product placement.
37:16
And I'm like, OK, but I didn't. You have to know that that.
37:20
Is. Even I was like, yeah, even I
37:23
was kind of getting into it and I still was like, the fuck are
37:25
they doing? How many people in 1994 do they
37:28
reckon were still aficionados of 1930s radio dramas?
37:32
Yes, it's very funny. And then there's there's a
37:38
sequence in it. It's one of those movies where
37:40
you, when you, if you should watch it just for fun and you'll
37:44
be you. I think you'll think the same
37:45
thing is like, what was this supposed to be?
37:47
And what did he get edited into later?
37:49
Because there's a sequence where he leaves his house and he says
37:54
to here's a taxi driver who drives him around everywhere.
37:56
It's like one of his agents, the shadows agents.
37:58
He has agents everywhere. It's great.
38:00
There's a really great scene where and it's lifted from the
38:03
first book where he rescues somebody on a bridge and then he
38:08
says now you work for me. You're one of my agents kind of
38:11
thing. It's cool.
38:13
And so anyway he gets in the taxi that says take me to the
38:16
sanctum, right. So he's going to the sanctum and
38:19
then a Mongol warrior, 1 of Shuan's warriors dressed in as a
38:25
fucking Mongol warrior in armour is in a taxi and they and says.
38:30
Follow him. So he follows him with taxi,
38:33
right? And then so he's following the
38:36
shadow they get, they pull up, he gets out of the cab.
38:40
The guy, you see the Mongol warrior get out behind him and
38:43
then he's walking along. He looks and he sees in a car
38:46
rearview mirror that he's being followed, right?
38:49
So he ducks into an alleyway and becomes a shadow because he can
38:53
do that in the movie. The the guy comes in, where did
38:58
he go? Starts walking faster around the
39:00
corner into Chinatown right so then the shadow starts following
39:04
him and then the kabonga warrior goes into a a restaurant and
39:09
then the shadow follows him in and it's Khan's lair and I was
39:12
like wait what the fuck how did we get wait how did that happen
39:17
yeah like was that in the script or did you guys just like oh we
39:20
could probably edit this and it'll be fine like that doesn't
39:23
make any sense we've. Got to see him walking in a door
39:25
and then we can cut to this. Yeah, Wow.
39:28
Yeah, stuff like that where I'm just like, that's bizarre that
39:31
kind of been written that way, which doesn't make any sense.
39:33
Where there's a vacant lot and it's only because everyone's
39:37
been hypnotized not to see the building.
39:39
Yes, I remember sitting in the theater going.
39:42
That's fucking cool, yes. He did it.
39:45
I can't believe he did it. I saw that with my dad at the
39:50
Hayden Multiplex in Yeah. And I just remember sitting
39:54
there going, this is the best movie I've ever seen.
39:56
And I didn't know about the radio show or awesome or
39:59
anything at that point. I just, to my 14 or 13 year old
40:02
brain, everything in that movie was just fucking amazing.
40:05
And like when the lights came back into the end, my dad was
40:07
like, well that was fucking garbage.
40:10
What did we just? See the same movie.
40:13
It's just so weird, like tone wise, That's the problem, I
40:16
think. Is it because it some, you can
40:18
tell somebody wanted it to be fucking really dark and Tim
40:20
Burton, Batman, somebody else was like, this is going to be
40:23
funny, this is going to be really funny.
40:24
And then it's just like, it's just a mess.
40:27
You should watch Billy Zane's The Phantom next and just take
40:31
all of. Those it popped up in my
40:32
recommendations after I watched this Yeah I.
40:35
Just remember, is it who? Who is, Who's the woman in it?
40:38
It's Elaine or one of It's one of those 90s.
40:43
Yes, I remember she's in a. Very, very sheer dress at the
40:46
end and I was like, oh this is also I'm enjoying this.
40:49
Yeah, that is, that is true. It is Penelope Ann Miller.
40:54
Penelope Ann Miller, Yeah, one of those people who was in like
40:57
a few really popular movies in a row in the 90s.
41:01
But see her her character is really fucking annoying parts
41:06
because she just talks constantly, like talks about
41:07
what's happening and she's like, oh, it's following me, Oh, help
41:10
0, they're coming after me. And it's like she was clearly
41:13
told to do that. Like it's not so right.
41:15
It's just the the tone of this is just weird.
41:17
But it's like another throwback into the rodeo.
41:19
Drop. That's what I mean.
41:20
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, of course.
41:23
Yeah, I think you have to bear that in mind as you watch it.
41:26
Yeah. But anyway, yeah, like I I
41:28
enjoyed it on a certain level, but it's not it's not good.
41:31
I can see why it didn't go anywhere.
41:33
Yeah, like it's, it's very, it's like a weird artifact of.
41:37
Those shadow universe. Mate, I still just in terms of
41:40
superhero movies from that era. I will stand by Rocketeer until
41:43
the day I die. Yes, yeah, Rocketeer is fucking.
41:47
There's nothing not amazing about The Rocketeer and I won't
41:49
have. I've got to watch it.
41:50
Watch it again and tell me. I'm not.
41:54
I feel like I've been banned from watching Nazi movies
41:56
though. So Oh, it's Timothy Dalton.
41:59
This one's OK because the Nazis are the baddies, Matt so.
42:02
Yes, it'll be a sort of. Reinitigation, unlike Indiana
42:05
Jones. I'm just saying the movies that
42:07
you seem to love. Or oh, you mean like, yeah, man
42:09
in the High Castle? You sitting there watching
42:11
Triumph for the wheel on a weekend.
42:13
I always I only watched the first season of Man in the High
42:17
Castle and then I turn it off. You just get too bored.
42:19
Yeah, when you're still on top, as soon as yeah, happy ending.
42:22
They failed to kill Hitler. All the the rebels get arrested.
42:26
Happy ending. And the the fucking beheading at
42:32
the end of season 2 or 3 of that series was like blindsided me as
42:36
much as the beheading at the end of season 1 of Game of Thrones.
42:40
I was like, how's he going to get out of this?
42:42
Oh, they've cut off his head. How's he going to get out of
42:45
that? I've written themselves.
42:48
In the corner here, there's another movie from roughly this
42:54
era that's being remade. And I actually do think, I mean,
42:59
I'm sure this is fucking garbage, but I do think the
43:01
trailer for Red Sonia is is I, I will, I will see this.
43:07
Yeah, I was, Yeah. Let's say people have been
43:09
saying this looks like a movie from the 90s.
43:11
And yeah. Exactly.
43:13
If that's what you're going for, I'm all in, right?
43:17
I mean, it's not just the just the fact that it's because Red
43:21
Sonia is about tits, mostly tits and violence.
43:26
Like, let's be honest, so is Conan Conan's about muscles Joke
43:29
about that. There's a.
43:30
That's what I mean. Anyone hasn't seen this trailer?
43:32
She's at an armourer and he pulls up this fucking chainmail
43:35
bikini and she's like, what's that gonna protect his eye?
43:37
Nothing but the crowd. 'S gonna love it.
43:40
And it's like we will. We will love it, yeah.
43:44
And I've read the comic and that's that might even be bigger
43:46
than the one she wears in the comic.
43:48
Yeah, yeah. So I was just surprised that
43:51
they just did it like that's what read Sonia is.
43:55
So just remind me, when Schwarzenegger did read Sonia,
43:58
did you think he was playing Conan again?
44:02
Or did they think they could have the rights to it and then
44:04
lost the rights and then? Talks about this in his in the
44:09
biography and I don't remember but I think it is a case that
44:12
they someone's. Called me.
44:16
What's going on? Because we can pause.
44:21
Yes. Anya, no, I think someone was
44:22
calling my dog on me at the time.
44:27
I do recall he said something about they, they did not have
44:31
the rights, but they were. So they, he, they, she, he was.
44:35
They had to be very careful about the way they talked about
44:39
it in the film, kind of. Quickly, it was Conan.
44:42
Yeah, you know what it is, Conan.
44:43
And they got. Conan.
44:44
They get to play him. Yeah.
44:45
But they said, yeah, we can't do that.
44:47
So call you Dave. Yeah.
44:49
Yeah, they I. Forget the specifics, there's
44:53
some. Yeah, he did talk about that.
44:54
But it we can't talk about Red Sonia without mentioning what
45:00
you've put in here. It's just that the word Sonia we
45:03
know as somebody who we know uses that word to just describe
45:09
women with, But there's this big.
45:13
Not nice, just big. Just big, yeah.
45:15
He's not interested. In the just.
45:18
The size. It's like zooming into the the
45:21
lead character and then you just they've looped in somebody gone
45:24
Sonia like because that's her name.
45:29
But but I just it ruins. It Yeah.
45:33
Because now I just think it's. Something I'm walking by the.
45:36
Back I'm fucking. You.
45:41
Yeah. Well, I, I probably will go
45:43
watch this because I remember growing up watching this same.
45:47
Yeah, like this was. No, look, this trailer looks
45:51
pretty great. I got to say, I'm surprised.
45:53
The first Conan movie, it's just like a legitimately good movie.
45:57
Like it's just a great movie, the script.
46:00
But John Willis is amazing. The second one is not, but I
46:03
like it just as much because when I saw it as a kid, it was
46:06
just fantastic. And I know people still fantasy
46:09
that will argue that's the better of the two, right?
46:12
I can't argue with them because that's the one you like better,
46:15
That's the one you like better. But Reg Saundra, when I was a
46:18
kid, as far as I'm concerned, that was just #3 yes.
46:22
Yes, yeah, yeah. It's weird to know that it's
46:25
actually not technically, because it just is like, yeah,
46:29
everybody knew, everybody knows. And like, we were watching this
46:31
when we're probably younger than 10, these were games we would
46:35
watch. Yeah, I'm watching Conan and
46:38
because, well, and because particularly Conan has got tits
46:41
in it. Yep.
46:42
Like those were, I think, yeah, yeah.
46:47
So those kind of movies. Yes.
46:51
Great boobs in your movie. We we'd probably watch it again
46:55
even if we didn't like it. The first the first tits you see
46:58
in that movie is when Conan's just won his first gladiator
47:03
fight. And so they bring in a.
47:05
Girl as a prize, but to show that he's like, sensitive, he
47:08
like covers her with a blanket before he rains her In the 80s,
47:16
that's all he had to do. You're the hero.
47:19
Oh, what a nice guy. I mean, she is.
47:24
Shaking with fear? Yeah.
47:27
Yeah, because he's like a barbarian.
47:29
Yes, the premise. Is like thrown to him as a yeah,
47:32
yeah, yeah. The next the next woman he
47:35
sleeps with is a witch trying to trick him.
47:37
You. Know.
47:37
Yes, that's right. Nude into the fire again in the.
47:44
Age. Don't watch this movie again,
47:46
it's been a while. Great, I watch it.
47:48
All the time. Another trailer Jones.
47:52
We didn't talk about this on the show, I don't think.
47:53
Another trailer is out, and it's for Project Hail Mary, which is
47:58
one of my favorite books of the last fucking 20 years, to be
48:01
honest. It's a fucking great book.
48:03
Until I read dance book, obviously.
48:05
Well, yeah, but I remember when you, when you said to me, drop
48:11
everything in real, read Project Hail Mary.
48:13
Do not go on the Internet first. Yes.
48:16
Just read the book and the it's exactly that.
48:20
And I know we've talked about whether or not spoilers spoil
48:23
things. It would fucking spoil this.
48:25
Yeah, I so this trailer, so first of all, the the trailer's
48:28
broken all records for trailer views, which is very interesting
48:32
because I did think when they said they were making this, I
48:34
thought I spit niche, but yeah, probably not.
48:37
Too, Well, I guess the Martian was big and that's.
48:40
Based on Sandy, yes. Ryan Paul saying he's the guy in
48:43
the Hollywood I. Guess I forget how popular he.
48:47
Is and I think it so the trailer, if you're listening to
48:51
this and you haven't watched it, I think consider whether you
48:54
want to. It does have what I think is
48:57
kind of a shame. It's a spoiler, but it's not
49:01
like a it's not, you know, there's a lot that happens in
49:04
it. It, it's kind of a mystery, kind
49:07
of you figure out what's going on as you as you learn the
49:09
story, right. So there's quite a few things
49:11
that they could spoil. They spoil like it's.
49:13
Almost 2 mysteries because there's two plots.
49:17
Exactly. Yeah, 'cause it's yeah, you see.
49:19
Converging with one another, yeah.
49:20
Yeah, you learn about what happened as you see what's
49:23
happening here kind of thing and the whole.
49:25
Time you're going How did it get to this?
49:28
Yes, right. And so the trailer has a pretty
49:31
big spoiler in it. But then I was like, well, I
49:34
guess I can understand why, because it is a fundamentally
49:38
important aspect of what the movie is.
49:40
And if you. Yeah.
49:43
Didn't tell people that. It might be, they might, I don't
49:46
know. It's just like, I think the
49:48
studio was like, we want to make sure people understand what this
49:51
is. Because when you read the book,
49:53
I didn't care. I got to that point and I was
49:55
like, oh, because they're right and they're good.
49:58
Because The thing is, if you hadn't read the book and you saw
50:05
this trailer, you don't know you've been given a spoiler.
50:09
Right. So.
50:11
Yeah, that's a weird 1. Penny Arcade made a strip about
50:13
it. Where?
50:14
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where do they?
50:16
Still make strips. I am behind that.
50:19
I think in the strip, Gabe has read the book and and Jerry
50:22
hasn't or something. One of them hasn't.
50:24
And then they're like, oh, there's a new trailer, let's
50:26
watch it. And then it gets to halfway
50:27
through the trailer and he's like, Oh my God, cover your
50:29
eyes. Cover your eyes, right?
50:31
Yeah, yeah. And that's OK.
50:33
So it's not just me that thinks it's a new.
50:36
Audiobook but I need have to get around to listening to
50:38
audiobook. Is great, yeah.
50:41
Yeah, that's how I. Consume this yes.
50:43
Yeah, I it's, it's honestly the audiobook.
50:46
I would be trying to do stuff and have the audiobook on and
50:48
I'd be just standing there going.
50:50
Yes, yeah. Like, it's amazing.
50:53
Yeah. Yeah.
50:55
It's his best book for sure. And like I said, possibly one of
50:59
the best, one of my favorite books.
51:01
Ever and certainly one of the best science fiction in the like
51:07
man exploring space sub genre of.
51:10
Science, Yep, because and it's got it's got a mystery and you
51:14
it's just it's. Also incredibly detailed on the
51:20
science end of it, because that's his thing and that's what
51:22
he does. So I'm really excited about this
51:27
movie. I have told Jenna not to watch
51:30
the trailer and she was like, I wasn't going to anyway.
51:31
I'm like, because I would like I was.
51:35
I said, like I said, I understand why they want to make
51:38
sure people know what it is. They want to attract people to
51:40
go see. It makes sense that that that is
51:43
a draw if they, if you know about that, I'm sure so.
51:48
Just show Roy Goldwyn would make sense off.
51:50
But I'm going to make her see it anyway, so it doesn't really
51:53
matter. Well, if she likes, do you?
51:54
Think they'll change the ending from the book?
51:56
And I don't mean the ending to the like I don't.
51:58
Mean no, no I don't. Mean.
52:00
Yeah. You mean?
52:00
Yeah. Because that was risky.
52:03
Even in the book. I was like, oh, you went there,
52:05
did you? Yeah, yeah.
52:07
I don't know. Literally.
52:09
But we'll see, yeah. Yeah.
52:13
It looks pretty good. Looks pretty much exactly how I
52:15
imagined it would be, really. It looks incredible.
52:18
Yeah, yeah. Looks really, really good.
52:21
You know what? There's another trailer out this
52:22
week we haven't talked about. Did you guys watch Edgar
52:25
Wright's The Running Man? Oh yes, oh, I did.
52:27
Yes, for a while I haven't been looking forward to this because
52:32
I've been. Yeah.
52:34
Yeah, because I'm used to. Unfortunately, it's the running
52:37
man, and I enjoyed that growing up.
52:39
And when I know it's going back to the original, I've got Yeah.
52:42
No, this looks great. Yes, and, and they've done the,
52:45
which I assume now in hindsight that they did for budgetary
52:48
reasons. But in the film, the Running Man
52:52
runs like in a maze in a studio, whereas in the book he he's just
52:56
in the streets, you know? He's an adaptation of the books.
52:59
Yeah. So I think it's a lot better
53:02
that he can go anywhere. But people are watching him on
53:05
TV, so they're going to, they're going to know where he is.
53:08
Yeah, Yep, yeah. It'll be interesting to see if
53:11
Glenn Powell can carry a movie as the star.
53:13
Have I ever seen him as a support?
53:16
Yeah, what have I seen him in? What do I know him from?
53:18
Top Gun Maverick. OK.
53:21
All right. I mean, there was a lot of,
53:24
there were a lot of people in that so.
53:25
Yeah, but that's that's all I know him from No, he was also in
53:29
that Sydney movie I attempted to watch.
53:31
I. Think it was.
53:33
Called Tits the movie I was. Going to say you were too
53:35
distracted. Yeah, I was distracted by going.
53:41
No remember we saw other photos that a whole body.
53:44
Have you shown any woman from that angle?
53:46
I'm going to be interested, Luke.
53:48
I still love that fucking clip of the I think it was on Italian
53:52
TV with the subtitles. Would they put the subtitles on
53:55
either side of her tits? Incredible.
53:58
Brilliant thing. Ever.
53:59
Because. That I know.
54:00
It wasn't The Onion, it was the news.
54:03
And you can tell that they they just before it went, right
54:05
before it went to air, somebody went, hang on a minute.
54:07
We know why people are watching this.
54:09
We can't space space. No one's no one's interested in
54:13
what she's saying. Or if they are, it's secondary
54:20
and you certainly don't cover up one with the other.
54:23
Yeah. Oh, look, why are we going down
54:27
that path? Let's talk about.
54:28
Let's just shoot Larry. Yeah, yes.
54:32
So this is fun. This is a very nostalgic
54:34
episode. Yeah, I saw this this pops up on
54:38
AI follow this site Indie Retro News, because they talk about
54:41
new releases for old console like literally old computers and
54:44
consoles. So this is Leisure Suit Larry, a
54:49
game listeners may be familiar with from the 80s, Nineteen 87
54:54
in particular, and it was on IBM PC and I think it might be in an
54:57
Amiga. I played it on Amstrad.
54:59
It was on Amiga. On Amstrad, did you I?
55:02
Played it on Amstrad. Yeah.
55:04
OK. Well, this is it's being ported
55:07
to the Commodore 64. I'm surprised it wasn't already
55:10
there. Well, apparently the the AGI
55:14
engine, the the, the engine they used couldn't run on the
55:17
Commodore 64. So they just never did.
55:20
And they never went never. And in 80. 7 Commodore 64 had
55:23
already been officially. Discussed.
55:24
Yeah, it wasn't worth the. Yeah, it wasn't worth the effort
55:28
to make it. Well, I do a lot of a lot of
55:30
games at the time were being ported to to both 16 and 8 bit
55:34
consoles, but just just I guess this wasn't one of.
55:38
Them but somebody. Somebody's doing this game was
55:40
starting it, yes. Couldn't have an actual copy of
55:43
it for the. Parental.
55:45
Lock Yeah, yes. And who's the president of?
55:49
I don't know. What's the president?
55:53
Yeah. Yeah.
55:54
Yeah, in Australia, yes. Yeah.
55:58
The only good thing about it was the IT was like 100 questions or
56:01
something but you only got asked 10 and it asked you at random so
56:04
you could if you got stuck you. Just try again.
56:07
Reboot and and hopefully you got easier ones.
56:09
I Remember Me and Carl Smith sat there in like 1990 for like 2
56:13
hours guessing at these things. What is a transvestite?
56:18
Don't know. You got any idea like?
56:20
The questions are, yeah, the questions are wild.
56:26
But yeah, yeah, I'm excited just because I think this is a cool
56:29
project. This is one of those things
56:30
that's like, I mean, I'd love to do something like this, except I
56:35
wouldn't. I think I would get bored and
56:37
frustrated too quickly. But the fact that somebody has
56:39
done this. Is the guys that are doing this,
56:41
they're amazing with what they're able to do and with the
56:44
patience and the knowledge that they've got to go and do this.
56:47
Yeah, I talked to at PAX, I think it was last year actually.
56:51
I talked to these, the guys who make new NES games and I was
56:56
asking him like, how do you make an NES game?
56:59
And he said I work. He said I just work in notepad
57:04
writing machine code and then you and then you use a dev kit
57:08
to put on. I was like fuck man, like can't
57:12
be bothered with that. Yeah, yeah.
57:14
Yeah, like, I'm a programmer and even I'm like, fuck that.
57:17
Like too hot? Yeah.
57:19
If that's what you got to do. Hey guys, I've found, I've found
57:23
the questions. I've found the list of
57:24
questions. Oh, OK.
57:26
Who who thinks they can answer any of these?
57:29
Pick 10 at random. Yeah, let's see.
57:33
Question One tiptoe through the tulips was recorded by.
57:40
Oh, that's that. Oh, what's his name?
57:45
Tiny Tim. Yes, Tiny Tim, right, second
57:49
question, quite a short question.
57:52
Where's the? Beef.
57:55
Yes, OK, a Neru jacket is a jacket.
58:08
A Neru jacket condom. Out of date.
58:12
OK, OK. You know, you know, there's one.
58:16
Bourbon Street is in. New Orleans.
58:20
Yes, Calvin Klein is. I guess less people knew who
58:24
that was back. In the designer it.
58:25
Is yes, yes, OK, Charlie McCarthy and.
58:37
Edgar Bergen. Edgar Bergen.
58:39
Yeah, Herb Alpert and the Something brass.
58:50
Jesus. Big shiny.
58:53
Tijuana. Tijuana brass.
58:57
Yeah, these are very like. I mean, I assume this is done
59:00
for the laughs more than anything else, but it's just
59:03
like. If a physician was on an island
59:06
with Bo Derek, he would. Drink.
59:12
Thank God. OK.
59:14
All right. Oh, here's 1 Lee Harvey killed.
59:21
JFK. Yes, yes.
59:23
And I'm, I'm, oh, I see you're saying Lee Harvey.
59:25
Because that's all it says here. Yeah, I've googled Bo Derek and
59:28
I OK, fine, I get it. Oh, yeah, I didn't.
59:31
I didn't know who Bo Derek was. Yeah, but OK, fair enough.
59:35
I guess Al Jaffe was into this lady, which makes sense.
59:41
Who was the leader of Nazi Germany?
59:45
We've got some Nazi news, we could put that in the after
59:48
party. Let's go to the after party.
59:50
I want to hear the Nazi news and I also want to see what Bo
59:54
Derek. You need, you want I.
59:56
Assumed Bo Derek was a dude just because it's two dude names Bo.
1:00:00
Derek and Derek, yeah. I guess 2 dude names cancel out
1:00:03
and make a a girl. Oh.
1:00:05
I've seen this photo of her in the swimsuit with the.
1:00:08
Brakes, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
1:00:09
What it's from though? I think Al Jaffe also saw that
1:00:12
photo, yeah. Yeah, and took one hand off it
1:00:17
and put it on the. Keyboard and as he used that
1:00:19
typing thanking God, that's what I call it when I do this.
1:00:26
Yeah, thank you. Jesus.
1:00:33
Seems like she's still alive. And actually as a 60 year old,
1:00:36
she's still very attractive. Yeah, so.
1:00:40
Yeah. Yeah, you had to go back to 80s
1:00:42
actually, hold on. She's Oh no, she's 68, that's
1:00:45
fine. Or something to do maths in my
1:00:47
head. And she was on.
1:00:48
You've got to cut off that. Could be a bit.
1:00:50
You've got to. No, I love it.
1:00:52
Yeah, he's like 68 or. No, the game would have come
1:00:59
out. I mean, Matt's got to cut off
1:01:01
too, but it's at the other end. Waka waka waka.
1:01:06
What? That's a good decision.
1:01:11
What? Providing they've been
1:01:12
circumcised. Sorry.
1:01:14
Is that baby seven days old? That's younger than seven days
1:01:19
old. I'm not a sicko.
1:01:27
All right, Can we go? What is it, one of his shows or
1:01:30
the stand up where he's like someone thinks of a pedophile.
1:01:32
He'd like, well you'd be safe even if I was.
1:01:37
I think it was afterlife. I think some kid from a school
1:01:39
was harassing him and you're a pen.
1:01:41
I'll you'd be safer. Than I was.
1:01:43
Yeah. Right.
1:01:44
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, you're right.
1:01:45
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
1:01:45
The little ginger kid. Yeah, that's it.
1:01:47
That's it. Nothing wrong with Ginger.
1:01:49
Reminds me of. That isn't fantastic.
1:01:51
Sunny, the implication, are you gonna hurt these women?
1:01:55
No, I'm not gonna hurt these women.
1:01:57
I'm gonna have to hurt these women.
1:01:58
I'm not gonna have to because they're not gonna say no because
1:02:03
of the implication. Yeah, I.
1:02:05
Mean and then there's if it. Said no, then that.
1:02:07
'D be it then. But you don't understand,
1:02:09
they're not. They're not going to say no.
1:02:12
And then there's that woman behind him and he's obviously
1:02:14
you're not in any danger. That's right.
1:02:21
Yeah. You said he's out.
1:02:24
By the way, 2 episodes are out. Oh, is it?
1:02:28
Yeah, first one, he's all right. Second one was very funny.
1:02:30
OK. The first one is that crossover
1:02:33
episode and I think I'd enjoy it more if I knew what the other
1:02:35
show was. Oh.
1:02:36
Yes. Abbott Elementary, I've never
1:02:39
seen it and I think it threw me off because the tone of it is
1:02:42
different to Sunny and I was. Yeah, I knew they did
1:02:46
crossovers, but I don't know what the show is either.
1:02:48
Yeah. I mean, it's, it's fine.
1:02:51
It's just what's it called? It's just.
1:02:52
Different elementary. It seems like more like an
1:02:55
office style comedy filled in a school like a.
1:02:59
Maybe if you'd seen the crossover first or.
1:03:01
Yeah, if I was mood that show, I think I would have got it.
1:03:05
Just like I said, the tone. It wasn't like an episode of
1:03:07
Sunny, it was like an episode of something else that they're in
1:03:09
and. Especially because they're
1:03:10
talking about doing more with them as well.
1:03:13
That's what I've heard. Rumors done a Oh, it's got
1:03:16
Orlando Jones in it still ranting that he was sacked from
1:03:21
what? Was he sacked from American
1:03:24
gods? American Gods, which would be
1:03:26
cancelled now anyway so. That's going to say he's
1:03:27
thanking his lucky stars. Man people are not enjoying the
1:03:31
whatever rushed, cobbled together season 2 of Sandman.
1:03:35
Oh, is that out? Is it?
1:03:36
Yeah, that's. A shame.
1:03:38
But is it they actually don't like it or?
1:03:42
I think people are saying this would be better if Neil Gaiman
1:03:45
wrote it like, like, no, but like, I think they don't want to
1:03:49
say that, but I think they're saying like, it's obvious this.
1:03:52
Is not. Things are better when Neil's
1:03:54
got his fingers in them. That's all for this week.
1:03:59
